Keeping us going

This entry is all about thanking people, remembering those who supported us and encouraged us when we started, and those who still are.

We thank Adrian’s cousin, who has generously donated but doesn’t want to be named.

We thank Phak, Owen and Emma who have donated so many of their books to the library.

We thank Brian and Fiona for their encouragement through donations.

We thank Yuriko (Miyuki’s best friend!), who brought very nice books all the way from Japan.

We thank Madhu and Iris for the very useful books.

Denise, thank you too though the books got lost ☺

Asma, we received your donations through Es, thanks again!

Es and Ann, though you’re both part of the committee…we still do thank you both, for spreading the word, coordinating the collecting of books, and bringing them over. It is heartwarming to know that all of you back there care for the kids here and what we are doing.

Many of the books had quite an adventure, traveling by land and sea for over 3 weeks. Others traveled more luxuriously, 2 and a half hours flight, with Es and Ann lugging them around. We do hope to find more economical and practical ways to ship things over though…contacts or ideas, anyone?
